2 Ingredient Chocolate Pancakes

And guess what? they are super easy to make. With just 2 ingredients and some creativity, you can make a delicious breakfast for the entire family for under $1.

I had promised my daughter that I would make her chocolate pancakes this morning, but to my surprise, I woke up and realized I ran out of chocolate! Now, sure I could have just made something else for breakfast.. but if you have a 5 year old and you promised them something and didn’t deliver.. you are never going to hear the end of it!

So I decided to use the cake mix instead. I mean its the same stuff right? flour, eggs, coco powder, baking powder.

To my surprise the pancakes turned out amazing! Soft and fluffy. Extra moist and chocolaty! My daughter and husband loved them so much.

This is the perfect quick and easy Sunday morning breakfast. I will also be trying out other cake flavors as well. The possibilities are endless. Chocolate chip, lemon, carrot, vanilla you name it! Just add some frozen whipped cream and I’m in heaven!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. Excellent recipe for fluffy and light pancakes. I did let my batter sit for 5-10 minutes to make sure the batter had time to rest. Absolutely perfect – my family raved! Thanks. ﻿

Hi Layla,
Your pancake recipe sounds delicious, but I don’t understand why you say “cake mix flour” instead of just cake mix. It’s confusing people with the flour part. For some there’s no confusion,but others there can be because there is cake flour. On your reply to Aleisha on 12/8/13 you said; only thing two things you use is the cake mix and the flour. Which I’m sure you meant cake mix and milk. But I did notice there are several comments of people wanting to know where the flour part comes in. It would simplify for those that do not bake regularly on the difference between just stating cake mix and not cake mix flour.
I do thank you for sharing the wonderful recipes.
